Episode 17 – BGP: Peering and Reachability

In this Community Roundtable episode, returning guests Russ White and Nick Russo start our three part deep dive into the Border Gateway Protocol, or BGP, with a look at terminology, how peer relationships form, the differences between internal and external BGP, and scaling techniques.

BGP best path selection is missing where the interesting pieces of BGP sit such as oldest route & eBGP>iBGP . BGP Policies mapping at the edge, policies at the edge for iBGP and eBGP.
BGP Origin and Path validation using PKI Infra would be useful.

You’re a bit ahead of the curve on this one. Since BGP is such a large topic we’ve decided to split it into 3 different shows. The first was exclusively about BGP peering and reachability. The next show will be all about traffic engineering and will touch on path selection techniques. The final show will focus on securing BGP. That content is coming!

Sure Jordan. BGP implementation in Edge [ Filtering Policies], ISP Edge and BGP in DC would also be a good topic to cover.
Dynamic BGP peering and also BGP new RFCs GR Shut and BGP session Culling.
Sending Emojis over BGP 🙂
